[REL] Rik007: SH-3 Night surface attack project [REL]

Thank you very much Kyle!

Aggreed! I do not discuss a 100m difference. For your interest my source you find below. I was not aware that OneAlex is already on 900 meter. I use a Java program for that so it doesnot matter what it needs to upgrade...

SH3 regularly re-spawns convoys to 500 meter. What that means is that it will start a convoy with column spacing of 900 meter. Now when it re-spawn - for example after a turn-around - it will re-arrang to 500 meter whatever you specify in the the campaign.rnd. So what you see in Sh3 that a convoy suddeny has 500m wide lanes. It is bug in sh3. Now we can change the 500 to a value which is specified in the config file of the moon mod (Sh-5.cfg). So I will make it a 900m to be consistent:

New lane spacing when sh3 rearranges a convoy=900.0 ;[>=0.0 meters]

As for the sensory mod. It will bring the following to the table:

It will creatre seperate visual sensors for merchants, escorts, capital ships, airplanes and bombers.
Sensors have been tweaked to take advantage of the moon mod and night simulation.
Escorts and capital ships have better vision than merchants. Escorts have better vision than capital ships. Aircraft have of course the best vision of all (was already in OneAlex).
In clear wheather with full moon and no fog escorts can see you from around 2.2 km
In cloudy wheather with full moon and no fog escorts can see from to around 1.8 km
In overcast wheather no fog or moonless nights escorts can see from around 300 meter
In clear, cloudy and overcast moonless nights escorts can see you up to a few hundred meters. So escorts will still be dangerous.
You are invisible for merchants in moonless nights
In storm and rain you are about invisible for any ship or airplane. Destroyers can still see you within a distance of around 100 meter
Airplanes will overfly you in moonless or overcast nights
In clear wheather with full moon and no fog airplanes can spot you over a distance of around 4 km in clear wheather
In cloudy wheather with full moon and no fog airplanes can spot you over a distance of around 3.5 km in clear wheather
Capital ship have around half the visual capabilities of destroyers.
Much is of course depending on the aspect ratio the enemy is looking at you!

I will put this online soon so we can try it.
